You must complete all steps.

For printable guides and videos, please see Help Guides and Videos.

Advising

Click on Enroll Now and complete all steps to talk with your advisor or counselor to make sure you are taking the correct courses. Students must satisfy all pre- or co-requisites for certain courses. (For example, English Composition II requires that you have passed English Composition I.) If you have not taken the ACT, you must take the HCC Placement_Test prior to registration. Placement tests are offered in the areas of Mathematics, English, and Reading. View the Pre-Requisite Table and Placement Table to learn more about prerequisites and co-requisites. Online Registration requires you to contact your advisor through Enroll Now to receive your Alternate Pin Number.

Maximum Number of Hours

As indicated in the Holmes catalog, a student cannot register for more than 21 total hours per term. If you request online courses that will put you over a TOTAL (the sum of your day, evening, and online courses) of 21 hours, your entire online registration will be denied. Online courses take more time than traditional courses, not less. In the Summer Session, students can only take a total of 18 hours.

Registering for Classes

Go to Enroll Now to make sure your status is Complete. You must log in to MyHolmes to register for online classes. Once you are in MyHolmes, click on Create Schedule on the Student Essentials card. Click on Help Guide and follow the directions to create your schedule. Be sure to pick Advanced Search with Online as your Campus. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm his/her registration. This process usually takes 24 hours but could take up to three (3) business days

Withdrawing from Class

Prior to 50% of the term, a student who exceeds the number of allowed absences (including absences due to late registration) will be removed from the course and receive a grade of F on the official college transcript.

After 50% of the term, but before 75% of the term, a student who requests to withdraw or who exceeds the number of allowed absences (including absences due to late registration) will be removed from the course and receive a grade of W on the official college transcript. A student may request to withdraw by completing and submitting the electronic Withdrawal Request Form located in My Holmes portal.
